20634 Medley, Topanga, CA 90290

Description

A Topanga gathering place resting high above Fernwood surrounded by epic views .While some homes are meant to just be lived in, this one is made for gathering. Behind its own gardens, high on the hillside, sits a four-bedroom, four-bath home in the heart of the Canyon. A warm, wood-lined contemporary with a self-contained guest unit, generous rooms built for a crowd, and grounds that step down the slope toward open canyon and a distant line of city lights. It is private in the way the best canyon homes are: screened, quiet, and entirely its own. The grounds are the first surprise terraced beds, mature trees, decomposed-granite paths, a pond-side terrace, and lantern-lit gathering areas set at different levels, each with its own slice of the view. Viewing decks follow the sun through cool ocean breeze and southern light, and neighborhood trails begin a short walk from the door. The only hint that Los Angeles is anywhere near is a small band of city lights that comes up on the horizon after dark. Otherwise it is all canyon. Inside, the house is finished to match the setting. A vaulted wood-ceilinged great room opens through walls of glass to the view, anchored by a fireplace and warm enough for a grand piano. A professional kitchen a generous stone island and a second prep area with display shelving sits beside a dining space that looks straight out to the hills. Fine millwork and natural materials carry through, quietly done rather than showy, and the main rooms flow together and open onto the decks, so a gathering moves easily from the fireplace to the night air. The four bedrooms and four baths give family and friends room to stay comfortably, and the self-contained guest unit its own kitchen, bath, and private entrance adds another layer of privacy for overnight guests, visiting artists, or extended family. Beyond the main rooms is an abundance of flexible space: a library/den, a family room, and a converted garage studio, each a quiet corner to retreat to. Imagine bringing your favorite people together here long dinners, creative weekends, music, sunset mocktails on the deck, and evenings that stretch late into the night.This is the kind of place where people naturally linger a home to host in, create in, and stay awhile. For anyone looking for a Topanga retreat with room for people, creativity, and quiet, 20634 Medley Lane is a home made for gathering, on a street we know well.
